Gambling and gaming can start as a way to unwind or escape—but sometimes they take on a life of their own. If you’ve tried to cut back and feel stuck in a cycle of stress, secrecy, or shame, I can help.
My work focuses on problem gambling and gaming addictions, anxiety, and related stress. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), and Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), I’ll help you identify triggers, rebuild coping skills, and figure out what’s driving the urges and take realistic steps to regain control.
Sessions are confidential, online across Ontario, and focused on practical, evidence-based strategies that help you regain balance and control.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Helps clients challenge and replace irrational beliefs. It is an action-oriented approach for lasting change.
Approach Description: My approach combines Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), CBT, and REBT—all supported by research for gambling and gaming disorders. Together, we’ll clarify what’s driving urges, manage triggers, and build problem-solving and coping skills you can use right away. Sessions are practical, structured, and focused on measurable progress—not endless talk.

Gambling and gaming can start as harmless distractions but can quickly become overwhelming. My role is to help you break down confusion, stress, or loss of control into clear, solvable steps. Using Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), we’ll identify triggers, rebuild coping skills, and create practical strategies that reduce urges and restore balance.
Many people I work with feel torn—part of them wants to stop, and part of them isn’t ready yet. We work with that ambivalence, rather than fighting it.
I work with adults across Ontario who are navigating problem gambling, gaming, or other impulse control challenges. Sessions are online, confidential, and focused on achievable progress—one step at a time.
